Where does MDMA come from?

[Weedguru Cusmar]

The stuff they put in E pills, where does it start out? For instance bud comes from the fields and home growers, so where does mandy come from?

is it not just made out of chemicals?

MDMA is synthetic. It does not come from a plant like marijuana does.

Early ecstasy MDMA was patented in 1913 (patent #274.350) by the German chemical company Merck supposedly to be sold as a diet pill (the patent does not mention any intended use). The company decided against marketing the drug and had nothing more to do with it. Another urban legend has the US army testing MDMA in 1953 as a possible truth serum, but there is no real evidence supporting this.

i heard that to. this might be what you mean...

Yaba
The story goes that Yaba was originally developed by the Nazis to keep their troops awake for days on end. Since then, it's become increasingly popular in the Far East and beyond. There are claims that Yaba is now bigger than heroin in Thailand.

Edit : Except this is a form of speed i think
